This has sat in my wishlist for some time and I have held off tkaing the plunge due to the now-standard pattern of indie PC titles being super buggy at launch. Seems like now might me a good time to take the plunge. Reply+8

Just as soon as this adds AI cars, collision and timed checkpoints, I will be all over it. Time Attack is not what I want from an arcade racer, I want to swerve like a man possessed through back markers then gun for the leader, like in Sega's awesome and very under-rated Indy 500 Reply+2

Gah! With every huge update I keep hoping against hope that they will add a 'Motorstorm Mode' and then I can have the rough and tumble, screw physics, *fun* racer that I am looking for. This sounds like another great addition to a game I bought for peanuts, but please please PLEASE do an all-out arcade mode, off-road fun update for the next mega update! Reply+7

And here we have the reason I have zero interest in this game. Non level playing field = not enjoyable. This is just blatantly putting the hamster wheel in front of your face and saying 'spin on this'.

*Any* game that wants extra cash on top of the full game purchase price sets a bad precedent and yet I know a whole group who splashed out bigtime on Battlefield packs (whatever they were called).

It's now a common theme across all big publishers and it should be rejected. I want to spend my money, buy my game, and then maybe have some post-game support as a pleasant surprise. D3, for example, shows a positive model vs, say, Overwatch as one that fills me with apprehension and keeps me away.

I wish more of us would actually NOT BUY these games rather than moan but give in to peer pressure. Reply+3

I'm one of many in the closed technical test and the amount of polish there makes me genuinely curious as to why this needs more time. Yes, there are some things that need fixing in the UI (opening loot packs springs to mind) but what we've seen of the game is slick and seems very near to completion.

@TheDarkSide St Francis Folly was one of those treasured moments in videogames. When you first angle the camera down and it goes on FOREVER until you can't see any deeper took my breath away at the time. Magnificent. Reply+2

Biggest gripe with the game is the current lack of local multiplayer, which was an unpleasant surprise. Apart from that, though, this is a real charmer and I hope to get my board game friends into it. Reply+10

The problem is that there is not a lot of content for £20. My focus is PvE, and all I get is a four-room arena with some limited extra mechanics. 'Raid encounters' are still light years behind mechanics of, say, a World of Warcraft boss.

Destiny has one thing going for it, and one thing only: the satisfying gameplay. Turns out that covers a multitude of sins as I still play it a lot, but this expansion is paper thin for the money and I will be thinking long and hard before giving over any more of mine. Reply+56

I found combat in the Witcher 2 so bad that I barely got beyond the opening tutorial. I hated it. The thing that holds me back from going for this is that lingering fear that combat will be the same, and that I will hate it also.

Can any of you who have already been playing the game (since the review glosses over this in barely a sentence) elaborate on how the combat is? Reply+4

This looks a bit like a fully controllable Dragon's Lair. It seems to have plenty of 'wrong choice = death' moments. Could that make it overly thin to play? I hope not because it looks gorgeous and immersive. Reply+5

@Sledge_Hammer I tried the USB to always thing and it made no difference for me. Therefore I stopped using Rest Mode until this fix. Now that it's here I'll revert to the timed USB settings and use Rest Mode again.

I wasn't going to bother checking the other stuff. I leave discs in the machine all the time and I want background downloading.

D&D Shadows Over Mystara is an unbelievably good game. Yes it's old, but it's still terrific. Probably the most complex side-scrolling beat-em-up out there and it's unparalleled for couch co-op. Really, it's the best. Reply+3

Oh Jesus. I feel this entire article belongs in /r/im14andthisisdeep. Just as with many of the other 'isms' these things are grounded in actual points of difference. Do we treat women differently to men? Yes we do because - get this - they *are different*. An amazing concept... Reply+1

I still have my goals saved from the original FIFA Soccer on PC. It was on a ***CD*** and it had ***commentary*** from Tony Gubba. I enjoyed it and played it a lot. These days I wouldn't touch a football game with a barge pole as I enjoyed sports games when you could weave past the entire team and shoot.

I really like the sound of this and hope it delivers. It's there one motif that's over-used it's the sight of a hero with a gun in his hands. Guns aren't necessary for drama, suspense or indeed horror, so fingers crossed this is a winner. Reply+19

Such a badly done main character. I always thought this looked overblown and not very good. This review confirms it for me. It reads like it wanted to be a 5 but was bumped up a bit to keep Ubi sweet. Reply+3

I'm not a fan of New Game Plus - basically it's the same game with some tweaks, and they expect us to smile (to put it in Eurogamer speak). It should be a deduction that a game ends too early. For an RPG in particular, once you've played it, you've played it. If it runs out of steam too early, mark it down! Reply-14

@UncleLou It's a lot later than I expected! It's been playable on PS4 for months - not sure why we have to wait these last two months for it even now. That said, I am looking forward to it. For me, PS4 wakes up significantly once this is out. Reply0
